Die Mannschaft won their first fixture against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Portugal-c2984 courtesy a header from Mario Gomez in the second-half. The DFB eleven can secure qualification to the next round with a win over Oranje in their second fixture. However, the
Dutch national team have nothing to lose after their shock 1-0 defeat against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Denmark-c2884 on Saturday.
Hummels claimed that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Netherlands-c753 after a satisfactory showing against the Seleccao. The defender insisted that the opposition is very strong and will be determined to perform
after the defeat in the first game.
The Borussia Dortmund centre-back added that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Klaas-Jan-Huntelaar-c21175 posses the biggest threat for his side as they are both world-class strikers. The player insisted that he has had to face Huntelaar in two games
which were both in the Bundesliga and admitted that it will be a tough ask.
“They have to win this time and above all we have to perform better than we did against Portugal. I have had two good games against Huntelaar this season. Against Van Persie not so much. It'll be tough to guard one or even both,”
he was quoted as saying in an interview.
On the other hand, the former Bayern Munich player is confident that his team will go far in the competition this time around. The centre-back hailed Die Mannschaft’s defence but has called for an improvement in attack. He admitted
that his side’s finishing was not up to the mark in the opening game.
“It is different when you play with a team whom you do not train with regularly but the defence was very good on Saturday. You also need a good goalkeeper for a good defence and we had that too. Whether that will be enough against
Netherlands we’ll have to see,” he concluded.
